Jonesboro city council ordered to reconsider rezoning decision

The Jonesboro City Council is being asked to reconsider its decision in a controversial rezoning case from 2012 after a Craighead County Circuit Court judge found that the council “had acted arbitrarily in rejecting the rezoning,” according to a press release from Roy Ockert, the Interim Director of Communications for the city.

On Friday, Mayor Harold Perrin notified Jim Lyons, an attorney for Dean Tyrer, that he would put the issue on the council’s agenda for Feb. 16.
